BUS STOP - colds

#0 Name: Anonymous

Good day, and welcome to Bus Stop - a small talk message board. Registration is not required and each post remains on the site for only a day, after which, it disappears.

If you find this place empty, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's completely abandoned. Feel free to make a post to start a discussion, perhaps someone will see it and reply!

Bus Stop is intended to be a stress free environment for talking with strangers. Try to keep a relaxed demeanor when posting, please don't say anything that might ruin the other person's day.
I hope we meet again.

POST FORMATTING OPTIONS MISC

Bus Stop uses an extended version of WakabaMark markup code for post formatting.
The basic features are as follows:

Surround text with * or _ to make it italic. _Like this_ or *like this*.
Surround text with ** or __ to make it bold.
Surround text with %% to make a spoiler
Make an unordered HTML list by beginning each line with *, or -. You can add line breaks in list entries by breaking the line and indenting the next line with one or more spaces.
Make ordered HTML lists by beginning the first line with "1."
Make quote sections by beginning each line with ">". Highlighting text and then clicking the post number will quote the selected text.
Make code sections by indenting each line by four spaces or one tab. Code sections get shown in a monospaced font, and are not otherwise formatted.
Make external links by just typing the URL you want to link to. Post references like >>0 can be created by clicking the post's number and are automatically turned into links. You can link posts from other boards like this >>>/test/#0. The first youtube link in the post gets embedded, unless the post has a file attachment.

If you want to make a large post with complex formatting you can test if everything looks right here.

Please fill in the subject field with a clearly defined topic when appropriate. This not only enables browsing the site like a regular message board by filtering posts with the same subject but also serves another purpose. Subjects have a longer lifespan than posts; this means that even when a subject's thread is empty, it remains in the list for several days since the last post. In the event that this board is empty, it should help a new user or someone who hasn't visited the site for a long time understand what kind of things were being discussed recently.

The board's look can be customized from the options menu, which is accessible by clicking [+] in the bottom right corner of the sidebar. Available options are as follows:

[theme]: switches the visual style of the site.
[Mona]: enables the Mona font. If your browser has problems with rendering it, turn it off to use a system font.
[⟳]: enables auto reloading of the page each 90 seconds.
[?]: controls visibility of the info post.

Options are stored in your browser's cookies, be sure to enable them, if you want to save your settings.

Bus Stop is also available through this URL vip.bus-stop.net
This is the JavaScript-free mirror of the site, so if you like, you can use it to browse the scriptless version of Bus Stop without disabling JavaScript in your browser.
Please note, that you need to solve a captcha to make posts with disabled JavaScript.

User submitted themes are placed on different subdomains as well:

It won't actually heal the cold or anything, but if you've got a sore throat/cough nin jiom pei pa koa is goated. I also always crave chicken congee with ginger when I'm sick...

not sure why all my solutions here are Chinese, they just do it best I guess

more generally all I've got is lots of sleep, Dayquil, lots of immune support tea and electrolytes, hot showers/hot baths/hot towel on the face and facial massages for sinus pressure, and gargling salt water. If you think you caught your symptoms early, I'd say rush and start taking medicine/doing every "healing" measure you can think of, that usually helps stave off the later severity for me
:( colds are the worst

paracetamol and sleep as much as possible, no real other way.

+1 on the sleep, +1 on the hydration

one time drifting in and out of impending-illness early sleep before a workday, the first bit of sleep felt like it'd been 3 hours while i'd only actually slept 1 hour. crazy how it can work sometimes (did stave off the fever, i guess successful enough)
